The station opened on 8 November 1922 with the opening of the initial section of the line from Trocadéro and served as its eastern terminus until the line was further extended to Porte de Saint-Cloud the following year.

As part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors was renovated and modernised on 11 December 2007.

[1] A small exhibit on the singer Claude François who had lived nearby in the past was also removed as part of the programme.

The advertising frames are made of honey-coloured earthenware with plant motifs and the name of the station is also incorporated into the wall tiles, in the interwar decorative style of the original CMP.

The station is also served by lines 62 (only in the direction of Porte de France) and 88 of the RATP bus network.
